AUSTRIA AND RUSSIA
Not Likely to Go TO war With Each
other at Present.

Not Likely to Go TO war with Each
other at Present.
PEsTH, Nov. 25.-A semi-of6cial denial is
given here to the statement in the Berlin
Post that there is an immediate prospect of
Austro- Russian war. It is stated that
nothing has lately happened to increase the
danger of conflict and the remarks of the
Post are held to be directly contrary to the
confident declarations of Count Kalnoky, the
imperial minister of foreign affairs, to the
delegations. Official circles are convinced
that war between Russia and Austria alone
is an impossibility because if Austria were
assailed Germany and Italy would be bound
to assist her aud the inevitable result would
be general eonfagration in Europe.
HARVARD GROWLS AS USUAL.
Seme Very silly Claims Made by the
Dependent Wearers of the Grim
SON.
Boston, Nov. 25.-The six hundred Har-
ward students who went to New York to wit
ness yesterdays football game claim that the
game was unfairly won by Yale, being a
direct gift by the referee and umpire. They
say that the touchdown made by Corbin from
which goal was kicked was unfair as it is
distinctly provided in the rules that the CEN
ter rush cannot run with the ball before it
has touched another man, which it had not
in this case. This would take off six points
from Yale's score. Then they claim that
Sears made touchdown at least two minutes
before the end of the first three-quarters
This touchdown was disallowed by Referee
Cook, of Princeton, on the ground that it
was made ten seconds after he had called
time. Over fifty Harvard men who timed
the game will swear that without counting
time taken out the total playing time
was forty-three minutes. Instructor in
Mathematics G. w. Swan took special notice
of the time. He says the game began at 1903
and that time was called at 2:46 precisely.
Ames, full back on the Princeton team and
one of the spectators, says the same thing.
This would have given Harvard four more
points-a total of eleven-and would have
given the team confidence and have won the
game. They say that the umpire Hancock,
quarter of Princeton, was preiudiced in
his decisions, and this is shown by the ascsr-
tanned fact that he was interested in wager
of S175 on Yale against Harvard.

His Wife Wants a Divorce and Tells
Shocking Tale of Abuse.


Shocking Tale of Abuse.
PROVIDENCE, Nov. 25.-In the Supreme
court to-day the hearing was begun of the
petition of Florine N. Wilson for absolute
divorce from "Doc.'' Levi Wilson. The spe-
cifc charges at issue are cruelty and profan-
ity. Considerable testimony was submitted
showing inhuman treatment of the wife.
Mrs. Wilson testified that he had awaked her
had dragged her over the footboard of bed
and over the floor until she called for aid.
He made her go south with him when she
was very i'll and in Florida slapped her face
obtained all her money at the point of the
pistol, threatening to kill himself before her,
and had taken all her jewelry including her
engagement ring and pawned it. She did
not make public her abuse because she had
married against her parents wishes and felt
too proud to go to them and tell them.
Some of the details of the abuses testified to
are unfit for publication. Mrs. Wilson's
stepmother testified to some knowledge of
the abuse; she did not tell her husband (Mr.
Farnum) because Florine did not wish him
to know what had happened. Caleb Far
mum, father of Mrs. Wilson, swore that he
supported the Wilson's until December,
1886, when letters were discovered implicat-
ing Wilson in illicit relations with other wo-
men. He knew nothing of acts of cruelty
until his daughter spoke of it, At times
Wilson's conduct was such that all persons
in his (Farnum's) house stood in fear of him
The case will be resumed Saturday morning

THREE YEARS ago, when the idea that
mugwumpery would be a principle of de-
mocracy had never been conceived, and
when it was not supposed that mn ex-Con-
federate's commission wouid be revoked
by national administration because
when boy he had written boyish
letter, Kentucky gave Mr.. Cleveland thirty
five thousand majority. General Buckner
is one of Kentucky's most popular demo-
cratic citizens; and yet, at the recent eiec-
ton, she gave him barely thirteen thousand
majority. The lesson Thus taught should be
easily learned. An equal ratio of loss in the
other Southern States will leave many of
them in the control of the republicans. 1t
is never we'll to leave out the factor of hu.
man nature in election estimates.
